Barriers to Achievement

May 23, 2006

Wow, I haven’t posted in quite sometime. I’m really sorry. I’ve been getting bogged down in MCAT preparation, Victoria Weekend goodness and a bunch of other silliness I won’t get into.

May 5, 2006

Alright, sorry about the lack of posting. You know how exams are… and then I had to move. Try to move as little as possible, it’s not fun.
